Recent progress in investigating optical rogue waves

N Akhmediev, JM Dudley, DR Solli… - Journal of optics, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
The science of rogue waves in optics is now over five years old, and it has emerged as an
area of broad interest to researchers across the physical sciences [1]. This area of study was …

Intermittency in integrable turbulence

S Randoux, P Walczak, M Onorato, P Suret - Physical Review Letters, 2014 - APS
We examine the statistical properties of nonlinear random waves that are ruled by the one-

Emergence of rogue waves from optical turbulence

K Hammani, B Kibler, C Finot, A Picozzi - Physics Letters A, 2010 - Elsevier
We provide some general physical insights into the emergence of rogue wave events from
optical turbulence by analyzing the long term evolution of the field. Depending on the …

Instabilities, breathers and rogue waves in optics

JM Dudley, F Dias, M Erkintalo, G Genty - Nature Photonics, 2014 - nature.com
Optical rogue waves are rare, extreme fluctuations in the value of an optical field. The
term'optical rogue wave'was first used in the context of an analogy between pulse …

The Peregrine soliton in nonlinear fibre optics

B Kibler, J Fatome, C Finot, G Millot, F Dias, G Genty… - Nature physics, 2010 - nature.com
The Peregrine soliton is a localized nonlinear structure predicted to exist over 25 years ago,
but not so far experimentally observed in any physical system. It is of fundamental …

Third-order dispersion for generating optical rogue solitons

M Taki, A Mussot, A Kudlinski, E Louvergneaux… - Physics Letters A, 2010 - Elsevier
We theoretically and numerically evidence that optical rare and strong temporal events
generated in fiber supercontinua originate from convective modulational instabilities. This …

Harnessing and control of optical rogue waves in supercontinuum generation

JM Dudley, G Genty, BJ Eggleton - Optics Express, 2008 - opg.optica.org

rare extreme red-shifted soliton pulses arising from supercontinuum generation in photonic …

Granularity and inhomogeneity are the joint generators of optical rogue waves

FT Arecchi, U Bortolozzo, A Montina, S Residori - Physical review letters, 2011 - APS
In the presence of many waves, giant events can occur with a probability higher than
expected for random dynamics. By studying linear light propagation in a glass fiber, we …
